As noted in Hodinkee’s “Value Proposition,” the Seamaster 30 was introduced in 1962 to great acclaim. They were named “30” because of the 30mm hand wound movements that were reliable and popular. They also featured 30m of water resisitance, which lead to confusion over the name. Of the Seamaster 30s, this model features the rare caliber 269, an improvement over the 286, with 17-jewel, 42-hour power reserve and sweep seconds. Only about 20-30% of Seamaster 30 models used this cal. 269 movement.
